Description

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I have around 100s of firewalls running I'm looking to automate rule addition on them but logging into panorama and fetching all of them is draining panorama resources it would be great if we can fetch all rules from Panos palo alto itself for each firewalls similar to the output we get when executed rule base command

Research direction

Start by reviewing the SDK entry points for PAN-OS firewall rule retrieval and comparing them with the existing rule base command output. Clarify how a complete rule base should be fetched directly from each firewall rather than Panorama, including the expected result and device scope. Done means the behavior is defined and validated against the requested rule base output.
